International James Joyce Symposium ‘a long the krommerun’

“[T]hey have reduced work to a minimum there. They seem to be simple, polite and dignified folk. Well set up men and girls and women who laughed all the time, though perhaps my presence there explains their mirth”
(James Joyce, Letters I, pp. 255-56).

Central themes to the symposium are:

• The Great War and the beginnings of Modernism
• Dubliners 100 years
• Institutions (Joyce’s fascination with human, economic and social interaction)
• De Stijl (Rietveld) and typography (Servire)
• Sustainable Joyce
• Cultural identity

Programme

Keynote lectures will be giving by Geert Lernout (University of Antwerp) and Jeri Johnson (Oxford University). Read the full programme.
